In the function sgx_create_enclave(), the direct assignment
operation of attributes_mask determines that the ioctl PROVISION
operation must be executed after the ioctl CREATE operation,
which will limit the flexibility of sgx developers.

This patch takes the assignment of attributes_mask from the
function sgx_create_enclave() has been moved to the function
sgx_open(), this will allow users to perform ioctl PROVISION
operations before ioctl CREATE, increase the flexibility of
the API and reduce restrictions.

Please write acronyms correctly. It's not 'sgx'. It's 'SGX'.

Who are the "sgx developers" and how do they benefit from this?

It mainly refers to application developers based on SGX technology.

One of the benefits that this brings is that the PROVISION operation can 
be called before or after the enclave is created, compared to the 
previous PROVISION operation can only be executed after the enclave is 
created.

Thanks,
